I have about 32 years of experience being a caregiver. I use to own my own Caregiver agency but, it took me away from providing personal care to my clients, I decided to give that up so I could work closer with the client. I've provided care for individuals with MS. I currently work part time for the State of Washington as a certified Care Giver & I have a couple of part time clients . I feel & have been told I'm a great caregiver because I think of others first, filling the needs of others before myself. I think the best way to be a affective caregiver is to really have consideration for the fact that, it could sometimes be Very humiliating having someone to provide care for you & to treat others as you want to be treated. I always talk to my clients and helping them to see that I do understand how it feels to be able to once have done things for yourself and now to have to rely on someone else. I also forgot to mention that I have a daughter who lives with me, she's now 30 and she's been on dialysis for about 10 years and so I have quite a bit of experience in the medical field.
I was also certified as a CNA for about 20 years I am not currently certified but, have loads of experience working with the elderly, I've worked on my own, in nursing homes & hospitals.

When I was in college my grandmother had Parkinson's and dementia. I wanted to help her but did not know how so I started to study nursing and was able to help her until her passing. It was a final act of love and caring that had a huge impact on my life. I try to give the same care to all my patients.
I have a great passion with working with the elderly to give them the care and companionship they need when many others have turned away.

Greetings! I fell in love with caregiving while attending travel school, and working for an elderly man in his home. My passion for caregiving comes from growing up in a large family and always having people around me of all ages. I adored my grandparents, and had the pleasure of caring for all of my older siblings children before having 2 of my own. When I lost my grandparents, I decided that I wanted to spend my time around seniors, helping them to remain in their homes as long as possible. It has been a 35 year career for me, and I enjoy it more every day! The personalities of my clients are so varied and so valuable, and the knowledge and humor I have witnessed has been truly priceless. I hope I can somehow give back as much as I have been given.

I live in Mukilteo and I have worked caring for mature seniors and special needs persons for over 30 years. I am a CNA, First Aid and CPR certified. My driving record is great. English is my first language and I seek first to listen with understanding, and then assist and support. I have a 'can do' approach, easy going patient demeanor, very mature, dependable, with positive energy. I want nothing more, than to offer help to improve the lives of those who need that support the most. I've always valued and loved our senior community, and have worked years to improve the quality of their lives, and that of their loved ones.

Hi I'm Ateka, I've been a caregiver for 7yrs. Working as a caregiver is very fulfilling as I enjoy seeing my clients happy and healthy. I believe that you should always take care of those who can't help themselves. In my country of Ethiopia I took care of senior citizens.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
I have 6 years experience doing In Home Health Care through Catholic Community Services / Independent Living Program.
After taking time off from this career path I have returned to this field and have graduated from the Nursing Assistant Training Program to receive my CNA and am currently employed with Maxim Health Services.
I'm very patient and caring by nature and that translates to my care for others.
I always remind myself to be aware of what it would be like to the person in need and how I would like to be treated and respected.
One of my personal joys and satisfaction is having the human connection with the work I do.

Hello my name is alondra, and I have alot of experiences working with elderly people! What makes me be a great caregiver is the love I have for helping people in need, also having patiences and understanding people. I am really responsible in anything I do I take my job really serious I always make sure I treat each client with respect and fairness, overall I love helping as much as i can even if its bathing to cleaning to company even grocerie shopping etc. What attracted me to being a caregiver was my mom shes been doing this type of work all her life and I have always looked up to her wanting to be like her and I would see everything she had to do when I was able to go to work with her and I loved the feeling of being able to help someone and the connections that are made and how doing something small can impact the life of yourself and the client you help. Its been my dream all my life to be able to get opportunities and work with as much clients as I can. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being everything to people who cant do things for themselves, too help them with anything they need at all times. I believe what makes me
Different is that i do my job extremely well but also with a lot of heart i am passionate when it
Comes to being a caregiver it is not just a job for me.

A caregiver of seven years trained to handle a variety of health and behavioral situations, I am aware of the impulse of families to want to ensure the health and well-being of loved ones. The help may just call for daily living activities with extra touches that make life worthwhile: decent exercise, tasty healthy meals, a clean, pleasant environment, a good listener and conversationalist, and kind, competent care.
Some situations, however, require attending to seemingly insignificant, but crucial tasks, such as reminders to drink enough liquids, to move body and limbs periodically to avoid pressure points and muscle atrophy. I believe my care is dispensed with respect, kindness, and purpose, mindful their need for such greater than ever. A general "How are you?" might be followed with a specific "Do you feel dizzy",; and too long a spell on the couch will suggest an exercise or outside to smell the roses. The idea, above all, is to provide for the well-being of body and soul. A wise tip I learned is to give old people something to look forward to, whether a fun treat or an item in their bucket list. It may not always be possible, but sometimes, even just trying helps.
My career history is eclectic, but caregiving suits me because I believe I make a difference in the lives of those in my care; more often than not, the tables are turned to make me pay attention. I consider my charges' health and well-being challenges, such as easing a cynic's attitude with kindness or making one's last days a comfort. By researching and learning about their ailments before I take over, I make certain I "do no harm".
I have gained hands on and annual online training from Home Health Aide courses and nurse delegated work. An energetic, resourceful worker, I offer empathy, kindness, and a bright outlook. They are what I gave my mom, now lovingly sent off to join dad, with plenty to spare for others.
